Unable to add local administrators group while installing SQL 2014 Express via SCCM
Trying to install SQL 2014 Express (English) via SCCM on German Windows 10 1803 on multiple computers.
Problem: local admin group won't get added to the sysadmin group in SQL, therefore any user is unable to access the tables or add permissions.
Tried setup via command line:

Hi Leon,
thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think its a problem of the wrapper.
After the setup we are unable to add any user to the SQL sysadmin, because there is no sysadmin... deadlock
If I setup SQL Express manually I can add the local admin group and its in the sysadmin after the setup completes.

Hi Michael,
I thought it was that it worked via command line but not through SCCM? The deployment toolkit can be used as a application or package within SCCM and deployed.
So was thinking if you mention that it works via command line it might work when deployed and run via PowerShell through SCCM.

I guess at the time it worked I had ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN set to true. The setup added my interactive user to the sysadmin group.
I interpreted this as success... after setting the value to false it dosn't work manually or with SCCM...

ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN = true won't help during SCCM installation .. there is no current user it could add

Maybe I should close this question and start another one including the new findings. I'm still testing and it seems its not an issue with SCCM
No Problem Michael

For anyone having the same problem: definitely looks like a problem with SQL Express 2014 setup.
It only works when setting ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN to "true" and run the installer batch interactively.

Have you tried using the following PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit to deploy the SQL 2014 Express?
It Might deploy better and actually add the local admins
